Email me at wwillis@thisisworthwhat.com and I'll give you whatever information I can. On a side note any descendant of our bloodline can have their name on display in St. George's (windsor castle) as a descendant to the founder of the Order of the Garter. I'm pretty sure you'd have the honor of being the first African American descendant. You'd probably have some rights to minerals or land as well. Hope this helps and Happy New Year!
